My husband has to have laser treatment in a couple of weeks to try and save his sight...
 
what eye condition does he have?

I've had numerous injections in both eyes for diabetic macular oedema and then 1 session of lasering to both eyes for proliferative retinopathy

My husbands eye condition is a left macular oedema the weaker. Vision good Both eyes diabetic maculopathy. Macular laser scars visible. vision good. x
 
Hoping for a successsful outcome for your husband @Viv53
 
I hope all goes well for your husband. I have had laser treatment on both eyes. Last one was in 2006. I do not want to temp fate so I will say as of today everything has been OK. It is a very quick procedure. The worst part was the waiting. Waiting for the drops to work and then waiting in line for it to be done. I was on my own as my husband had to go to work. I found listening to a story on my phone, with earphones of course, passed the time away.

@Lilian hi
Sorry to jump onto an old post
Do you have proliferative retinopathy in both eyes? Did you have laser in both same app? My hops want to do both eyes same time but a specialist i spoke to separately said best to do one eye at a time
How is ur vision now??

I did have laser on both eyes but not at the same time. Cannot remember now if it was because only one eye needed it at the time. I also (at a later date) had cataracts done. My vision has been fine. Over the years I have needed stronger glasses, but I probably would anyway. My mother was one of the first people to get laser treatment. In those days she had to spend a week in St. Bart's hospital. I think it is best to do one eye at a time. As I said, the worst part was the hanging around waiting.
